2005 Vendetta Gas Tank

This is similar to what happened to my 05 bone crusher. The liner inside the tank was failing around the seam where the tank mounts to the frame. Long story short, I had to have all the tins repainted because its impossible match the paint without the new paint sticking out like a sore thumb (or so I was told). Anywho ya, all the tins repainted, new liner in tank…..was not cheap!!! I was told for bikes like my rigid tail bone crusher to it was probably a good idea to replace the small rubber grommets that are mounted between the frame and tank. They act as small shock absorbers extending the life of the liner inside the tank…. Hope this was somewhat insightful.
